The Packers spent real capital to be 25 picks early on Javon Bullard, and the board is going to hold them to it. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Rakestraw Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Rome Odunze · WR · rank 11
Rome Odunze at pick No. 25 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 66
A wild overpay on Javon Bullard in the Round 2 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Ennis Rakestraw Jr. · CB · rank 35
A cornerback of that caliber at the 57th pick is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 72
Trey Benson slipping to slot 88 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Nelson Ceaser · DL-EDGE · rank 113
Nelson Ceaser at No. 91 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Matt Goncalves · OT · rank 104
You do not let an offensive lineman like Matt Goncalves reach Round 4, Pick 25 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 126
Value with a capital V on Javon Foster in slot 135, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Jawhar Jordan · RB · rank 202
A straight-up fair deal on Jawhar Jordan at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Kenny Logan Jr. · S · rank 203
They let Kenny Logan Jr. come to them and pounced at No. 217. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Brevyn Spann-Ford · TE · rank 216
Brevyn Spann-Ford in Round 6, Pick 44 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 231
Nathaniel Watson is a better player than pick 246 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
